1 Probabilistic models for decision support under climate change: An example using bull trout in the Boise River basin Douglas Peterson 1 US Fish and Wildlife Service Abernathy Fish Technology Center Longview, Washington Doug_Peterson@fws.gov March 1, Former address: USFWS, Montana Ecological Services, Helena, Montana
2 Probabilistic models for decision support under climate change: Acknowledgements: Bruce Rieman, RMRS retired Seth Wenger, Trout Unlimited Dan Isaak, RMRS-Boise Dona Horan, RMRS-Boise 2
3 How do we use all this stuff? Bringing it all together Decision space and uncertainty Prediction error, complexity, non-stationarity Linking data to a decision framework Bayesian network (BN) approach Example: Bull trout in the Boise River basin Building a model Predictions and lessons learned 3
4 Uncertainty: prediction error Air temperature Precipitation Air temperature and precipitation trends across the western US, (Mote et al. 2005) Global climate change scenarios based on different assumptions for greenhouse gas emissions and human economic trends (Fig. SPM5, from IPCC 2007, Working Group I). 4
5 Uncertainty: complexity What does climate change do to an already complex problem? Peterson et al (2008) 5
6 Uncertainty: non-stationarity How long before these scenarios become obselete? Will important ecological relationships hold, as we understand them now? Will statistical relationships used to model climate variables continue to hold? Isaak et al (2009) 6
7 Uncertainty: error propagation 7
8 Bayesian networks (BNs) in use 8
9 Bayesian Networks: definition & properties BBNs: graphical models that incorporates probabilistic relationships among variables of interest (Jensen 2001) Useful attributes: Logical Probabilistic Transparent Adaptable Spatial representation Management interventions Portable knowledge format (Conrady and Jouffe 2011) BBN predicting brown trout density from a suite of environmental, management, and land use factors (from Borsuk et al. 2006) 9

11 Concept: climate impacts on populations Global or Regional Climate Models (+ error) Downscaled climate predictions (+ error) Biotic Context (+ error) Landscape Context (+ error) a MODEL VULNERABILITY OR PERSISTENCE 11
12 Conceptual model of vulnerability Human Disruption Climate Predictions Landscape Context Temperature Regime Flow Regime Disturbance Regime Biotic Context Habitat Suitability Habitat Extent Connectivity and adjacent populations Population Growth rate Sensitivity to Catastrophic Events Population Vulnerability Influence diagram depicting linkages between climate, environmental context, and human disruption on vulnerability of stream salmonid populations (adapted from Rieman and Isaak 2010). Orange boxes represent variables considered for the Boise River basin bull trout example. 12
